So, what's the Chinesiest thing you've ever done?

I left my tray on the table at subway the other day, despite walking by a garbage can on my way out. I figured since everyone else left their tray on the table, why not me. Of course, I felt a little guilty about it which is not very Chinesy.

You are one dangerous and ornery chick

I don't know why but I just don't feel Chinesy. I fit in with the locals quite well and we have many friends from all levels of society. But I still have that fish out of water feeling.

first, i try to speak mandarine in the manner of chinese do with chinese slang....hehe哥们儿！！！哈哈 你咋的啦？啥呀 instead of 什么 second...sometimes even dress like chinese people... very funny.... hahahaand my chinese friends often say that I think like chinese.

Go to a "wang ba" (Chinese version of a cybercafe) to have internet access.

There's this local food chain in Anhui province called "Uncle Fast Food" (老娘舅). It has changed my eating habits for good.

Drinking hot water when I'm thirsty.

Feeling sick after drinking juice with ice cubes.

Thinking of a concept in Chinese first. Yesterday, for instance, I was in Nanjing with a friend and we visited an electronics store. I remember wanting to check out a "bijiben diannao", but I couldn't remember the word "laptop".

Like Wolff, I find myself saying "a ya" and "a yo" - easy to pick up and quite expressive, I think. But I have not yet stooped so low as to drink water of any temperature. Water is for washing, in my humble opinion

What else in the Chinesiest category .... well, I've become a baijiu devotee even though the smell of it made me feel ill when I first arrived.I now feel fairly relaxed about leaving uncovered food out of the fridge for several days on end.I hold the baby over the waste bin if she looks like she needs to relieve herself.I push and shove my way to the front of any crowd (this one took me a few years to achieve without feeling bad-mannered).I sit outside a bar on occasion and allow myself - this one was the most difficult for me - to have my shoulders massaged by a man. He's an ugly but nice guy in his 20s, and to stop him would offend him so deeply. But yes, it took some getting used to!
